I want to run two motors using this kit and my Ardunio Uno. I plan to suppy my Arduino 9-12V through the power jack. However I fear that the motors would draw current of 1 A each and destroy the Arduino. Just to be safe I want to supply the Ardumoto sheild power of its own and ignore the power that the Arduion supplies.
